Subuniformity of harmonic mean p$$ p $$‐values
Abstract We obtain several inequalities on the generalized means of dependent p$$ p $$‐values. In particular, the weighted harmonic mean of p$$ p $$‐values is strictly subuniform under several dependence assumptions of p$$ p $$‐values, including independence, negative upper orthant dependence, the class of extremal mixture copulas, and some Clayton ...

An observation‐driven state‐space model for claims size modelling
Abstract State‐space models are popular in econometrics. Recently, these models have gained some popularity in the actuarial literature. The best known state‐space models are of the Kalman‐filter type. These are called parameter‐driven because the observations do not impact the state‐space dynamics.

Optimal dividends for a NatCat insurer in the presence of a climate tipping point
Abstract We study optimal dividend strategies for an insurance company facing natural catastrophe claims, anticipating the arrival of a climate tipping point after which the claim intensity and/or the claim size distribution of the underlying risks deteriorates irreversibly.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Tablets submitted to drug checking services that were found to contain bromazolam. Over half of these counterfeit tablets mimicked the appearance of licensed formulations (e.g., alprazolam Xanax bars and diazepam Roche 10 mg pills). Bromazolam is now the most commonly detected street benzodiazepine in drug poisoning deaths in the United Kingdom ...

This study analyzes energy consumption and economic growth across 39 Sub‐Saharan African countries using a PVAR model. Findings reveal that non‐renewable energy and labor force growth stimulate economic growth, while renewable energy does not stimulate economic growth in the short run.

Quantum computational insurance and actuarial science
In recent years, quantum computation has been rapidly advancing, driving a technological revolution with significant potential across various sectors, particularly in finance. Despite this, the insurance industry, an essential tool for mitigating unforeseen risks and losses, has received limited attention.

ABSTRACT Sustainability has become an important factor shaping financial markets and investor behavior. This paper examines the relationship between sustainability indices and Central European stock markets using a time–frequency approach. Wavelet coherence is employed to capture time‐varying co‐movements between sustainability indices and stock market

Disease Site‐Specific Outcomes in p16‐Positive Non‐Oropharyngeal Mucosal Head and Neck Cancer
ABSTRACT Objectives To report disease‐free survival (DFS) in p16‐positive non‐oropharyngeal head‐and‐neck squamous‐cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods Curatively‐treated non‐oropharyngeal HNSCC (2009–2021) were reviewed. DFS was compared among p16‐positive, p16‐negative, and p16‐untested cases for the overall cohort and by disease site.
